Manual of Parliamentary Practice, for the Use of the Senate of the United (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book outlines rules, principles and procedures applied by legislatures to ensure proper functioning. The author emphasizes the importance of these as means to maintain order, efficiency, and fairness in legislative bodies. Specific principles like majority rule and protection for minority opinion are explained as not merely based on numbers but on logic, consistency, and historical lessons. The book is richly illustrated with examples, often drawn from British parliamentary history. It positions the approach outlined in the text within the broader context of democratic governance and its historical evolution, underlining the continuity of principles and protocols across different times and places. The work illustrates the importance of maintaining a balance between efficiency and fairness, order and freedom of debate, all while ensuring accountability. The author argues that these principles are essential for any legislative body seeking to make informed decisions, represent the will of the people and maintain the trust of its constituents.
